It will also fail to remove any page numbers or footers/headers that are present. An automatic cropping of white space is not ideal since might vary from slide to slide or vary with alterations of the PPT file. Feel free to use whatever tool works for you, but keep in mind that the ability to make exactly the same crop box every time is very useful. I know there are graphical cropping tools, but this works and can do lots of pages.
CUTEPDF NOT PRINTING IN COLOR PDF
The four numbers are how much to crop from left, top, right, bottom I worked them out by opening the PDF in GSview ( ), a Windows-based viewer for PostScript and PDF files that gives coordinates of the pointer, so I could just move my mouse to where I wanted to crop and note down the coordinates. The pdfcrop.sh command looked like this: $ pdfcrop.sh -t "105 112 105 112" infile.pdf outfile.pdf Pdfcrop.sh is available from, and also from. Cygwin ( ) is a Unix-like environment for Windows pdfcrop.sh would probably work seamlessly in a command line terminal on a Mac if the software tools it draws on were already installed, possibly through Macports or similar. (3) I decided to crop the resulting PDF using a command line tool, because that is highly reproducible - I can get exactly the same cropped box every time. * Print all slides (or the range you want) The Print settings for PowerPoint (rather than the printer) were: Cannot just use ‘Save as PDF’ option from the File menu because that does not give the notes pages. Mac tends to work better with PDF than Windows. Other PDF print options might be acceptable don’t know. Under PostScript Options set PostScript Output Options to ‘Optmimize for Portability’ and TrueType Font Download Option to ‘Native TrueType’. Set Print Quality to ‘1200 DPI’, Set TrueTypeFont setting to ‘Download as Softfont’. Went into Advanced settings for CutePDF and made sure paper was A4. (2) Used CutePDF ( ) to print to PDF file. Can resize and so on and get WYSIWYG while formatting.
To work with the slide notes in the text block under the slide, used ‘Notes Page’ under View. (1) ‘Designed’ notes text in PPT something like 12 pt for notes and 9 pt for refs/sources (Myriad Pro, though Univers works well too).
CUTEPDF NOT PRINTING IN COLOR FULL VERSION
Note also that I do not have access to a full version of Adobe Acrobat Professional or whatever they are calling it at the moment. There is (as of 2018) no option in the PowerPoint print dialogue for this. This is what I did to print out PowerPoint slides two per page including the notes underneath.
I had to work up the documentation, so why not post it? This is just a text-only version of the previous iteration with some new details.
